One-Liner

A tool giving hospital CISOs visibility into which physicians are using unauthorized consumer AI tools for clinical tasks and which patient data is being processed outside approved systems.

AI Thinking Process

Thread 8: Hospital CISO monitoring physician use of unauthorized consumer AI tools.

Microsoft Purview DLP, Netskope, Zscaler CASB — all adding AI-specific DLP. Near-duplicate of prior COLD idea.

Killed: G006 feature territory. Security platform incumbents already building this. Near-duplicate of prior COLD idea.

Fundamental kill: platform players building this as a feature. No independent product space.

Kill Reason

Feature of Microsoft Purview DLP (data loss prevention) for Microsoft 365 environments. For non-Microsoft environments: Netskope, Zscaler, and CASB vendors are adding AI-specific DLP rules. Near-duplicate of 'Enterprise AI Inventory Discovery Service' (COLD, 20260321-painpoint).
